The Bilbrey Ditch Company, a non-profit organization located in Emmett, ID, received a $137,098.71 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) federal grant program (CFDA 15.507). The funding will be used to automate one headgate and two check structures on the company's main canal, enabling it to better match available water supply to the demands of its agricultural users. This will improve operational efficiency by reducing manual labor, improving response time, and increasing data availability on canal performance. The project aligns with the goals set forward by the Idaho Department of Water Resources Payette River Basin Component of the Idaho Comprehensive State Water Plan. The award has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025.
